DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Advantages and features of the present invention and methods of accomplishing the same may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the present invention will only be defined by the appended claims. Sizes and relative sizes of the components illustrated in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarifying the description. Same reference numerals throughout the specification refer to the same constituent elements, and “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

It will be understood that when an element or a layer is referred to as being “on” or “over” another element or layer, it includes all the cases where the element or layer is directly on the other element or layer or other elements or other layers are interposed in the middle. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” or “just above” another element or layer, it represents a case where other elements or layers are not interposed in the middle.

Spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” and “upper” may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another elements or features as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the element in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the element in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The element may be otherwise oriented at other orientations and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

The terms used herein are intended to explain the examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In this specification, the singular forms also include plural forms, unless specifically mentioned in phrases. The terms “comprising,” and/or “including” does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other components, in addition to the mentioned constituent elements.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements or constituent elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. Thus, for example, a first element or a first component discussed below could be termed a second element or a second component without departing from the teachings of the present invention.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms (technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Further, unless defined otherwise, all terms defined in generally used dictionaries may not be overly interpreted.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, embodiments of the present invention may be modified to various forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. Moreover, the embodiments of the present invention are provided to more fully illustrate the invention to those having an average knowledge in the art. The shapes and sizes of the elements may be exaggerated for clarity in the drawings.

Hereinafter, a wearable device and a biometric authentication method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention and a smart phone connected thereto.

Referring to FIG. 1, a wearable device 100 and a smart phone 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention communicate with each other using a short-range communication. The wearable device 100 has a shape that is wearable on a human body (e.g., an arm) using a band or the like, includes a motion sensor, generates the motion data by measuring the user's motion through the motion sensor, and performs the user's biometric authentication based on the motion data. Thus, a user may perform biometric authentication, only by walking while wearing the wearable device 100 without a separate operation. Since a movement pattern of an arm during walking differs depending on the walling pattern of each user, it is possible to perform the user's biometric authentication by measuring the movement of the arm.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a device configuration of a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a wearable device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit 202, an input unit 204, a display unit 206, a motion sensor 208, a biometric authentication unit 210, a memory 212, a communication module 214 and an alarm unit 216.

The control unit 202 generates the motion data by measuring the user's motion through the motion sensor 208, and processes the functions for executing the user′ biometric authentication base on the motion data.

The input unit 204 may be made up of a plurality of function keys, and provides key input data corresponding to keys pressed by a user to the controller 202. Here, the functions of the input unit 204 and the display unit 206 may be performed by a touch screen unit (not illustrated), and in this case, the touch screen unit (not illustrated) takes charge of the touch screen input through the user's screen touch and the graphic screen output through the touch screen.

The display unit 206 displays state information, a limited number of characters, a quantity of moving images and still images generated during the operation of the wearable device 200. The display unit 206 may use a liquid crystal display (LCD).

The motion sensor 208 is embodied as a sensor such as an acceleration sensor and a gyroscope, and is activated periodically or under the control of the biometric authentication unit 210 to measure the user's motion. Further, the motion sensor 208 generates the motion data including the measured result and provides the motion date to the biometric authentication unit 210.

When the necessity for the user's biometric authentication is determined, the biometric authentication unit 210 activates the motion sensor 208 to extract a plurality of feature points on the basis of the motion data generated by the motions sensor, and thereafter, the biometric authentication unit 210 performs the user's biometric authentication based on the distribution states of the extracted feature points. According to the embodiments, the biometric authentication unit 210 derives a histogram for the extracted feature points, and converts the derived histogram into a normalized histogram. Thereafter, biometric authentication unit 210 may check whether an error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points within the normalized histogram is present within an allowable error range, by comparing the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance with the distribution state of the feature points within the normalized histogram. If an error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points within the normalized histogram is present within an allowable error range, the biometric authentication unit 210 may determine that the normalized histogram is the same as the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance. If an error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points within the normalized histogram are not present within an allowable error range, the biometric authentication unit 210 may determine that the normalized histogram is not the same as the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance.

The biometric authentication unit 210 registers the user's biometric authentication information for comparison with the normalized histogram in advance, in response to the registration request for the biometric authentication information before performing the user's biometric authentication. According to the embodiment, the biometric authentication unit 210 activates the motion sensor 208 in response to the registration request for the biometric authentication information through the user's key operation, extracts a plurality of feature points based on by the generated motion data, derives the histogram of the extracted feature points, and after converting the derived histogram into normalized histograms, the biometric authentication unit 210 may register the normalized histogram as the user' biometric authentication information.

The memory 212 stores microcode and various reference data of the program for processing and controlling the control unit 202, temporary data generated during execution of various programs, and various renewable storage data. In particular, the memory 212, stores the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance.

The communication module 214 encodes the signal input from the control unit 202, transmits the signal to a smart phone through a short-range wireless communication, such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, infrared, ultra wide band (UWB), wireless LAN (WLAN) and near field communication (NFC). Further, communication module 214 decodes the signal received from the smart phone through the short-range wireless communication and provides the signal to the control unit 202.

The alarm unit 216 reports the success/failure of the user's biometric authentication to a user under the control of the biometric authentication unit 210. Here, the alarm unit 216 may output an alarm so that a user recognizes the success/failure of the user's biometric authentication through the human sense, such as visual and auditory senses. For example, a warning sound may be output or a warning light may be flickered using a buzzer or a light emitting diode (LED), and an alarm may be output to report the success/failure of the biometric authentication, by the guide display through the display unit 206.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method of registering the biometric authentication information in the wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the wearable device checks whether the registration of biometric authentication information is requested depending on the user's key operation at step 301.

At step 301, when the registration of the biometric authentication information is requested depending on the user's key operation, the wearable device activates the motion sensor 208 at step 303, and generates the motion data by measuring the user's motion for a predetermined period of time. For example, when the motion sensor is an acceleration sensor, the wearable device generates the acceleration data by measuring the acceleration of the user's motion, and when the motion sensor is a gyroscope, the wearable device generates an angular velocity data by measuring a rotational angular velocity of the user's motion. Here, the acceleration data includes the three-axis (x, y and z-axis) acceleration components, and the angular velocity data includes the three-axis angular velocity components.

Thereafter, the wearable device extracts a plurality of feature points, based on the motion data generated in the motion during a predetermined period of time at step 305. For example, when the motion data is an acceleration data, the magnitude of the acceleration may become the feature point, and the magnitude of the acceleration may be calculated by taking the root of the result value that is added by squaring each of the three-axis acceleration components. Also, when the motion data is an angular velocity data, the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity may become the feature point, and the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity may be calculated by taking the root of the result value that is added by squaring each of the three-axis angular velocity components. Further, Fourier transformation execution results of the magnitude of the acceleration or the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity may become the feature points.

Thereafter, the wearable device derives the histogram of the extracted feature points at step 307. The histogram is a graph illustrating the distribution state of the extracted feature points.

Thereafter, the wearable device converts the derived histogram into the normalized histogram for easy comparison between the histograms when performing the future biometric authentication at step 309.

Thereafter, the wearable device registers the normalized histogram as user's biometric authentication information at step 311.

Thereafter, the wearable device finishes the algorithm according to the present invention.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method for performing a biometric authentication based on the biometric authentication information registered in the wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the wearable device checks whether there is a need to periodically perform the user's biometric authentication at step 401.

At step 401, when it is determined that there is a need for user's biometric authentication, the smart band activates the motion sensor at step 403 and generates the motion data by measuring the user's motion for a predetermined period of time. For example, when the motion sensor is an acceleration sensor, it generates the acceleration data by measuring the acceleration of the user's motion, and when the motion sensor is a gyroscope, it generates the angular velocity data by measuring the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion. Here, the acceleration data includes the three-axis (x, y and z-axis) acceleration components, and the angular velocity data includes the three-axis angular velocity components.

Thereafter, the wearable device extracts a plurality of feature points, based on the motion data generated in the motion during the predetermined period of time at step 405. For example, when the motion data is an acceleration data, the magnitude of the acceleration may becomes the feature point, and the magnitude of the acceleration may be calculated by taking the root of the result value that is added by squaring each of the three-axis acceleration components. Also, when the motion data is an angular velocity data, the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity may become the feature point, and the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity may be calculated by taking the root of the result value that is added by squaring each of the three-axis angular velocity components. Further, the Fourier transformation execution results of the magnitude of the acceleration and the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity may become the feature points.

Next, the wearable device derives the histogram of the extracted feature points at step 407. The histogram is a graph illustrating the distribution state of the extracted feature points.

Next, the wearable device converts the derived histogram into a normalized histogram at step 409.

Next, the wearable device compares the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance with the distribution state of the feature points in the normalized histogram at step 411.

Next, the wearable device checks whether an error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points in the normalized histogram is present within an allowable error range at step 413. For example, the wearable device finds a difference between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance (i.e., the user's normalized histogram registered in advance) and each section in the normalized histogram, determines a score by taking and adding the absolute value, and determines whether the determined score is equal to or less than a reference value. Thus, the wearable device may check whether an error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points in the normalized histogram is present within an allowable error range. Here, the lower the determined score is, the higher the similarity between the two normalized histograms is. According to the embodiment, the wearable device may comprise two or more motion sensors different from each other. In this case, the wearable device determines two or more scores on the basis of the motion data generated using two or more motion sensors, determines the final score by adding after applying the weight to each of the determined two or more scores, and by determining whether the determined final score is equal to or less than the reference value, the wearable device may determine whether the error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points in the normalized histogram is present within an allowable error range.

When the error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points in the normalized histogram is present within an allowable error range at step 413, the wearable device determines that the normalized histogram is the same as the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance at step 415, and outputs an alarm that reports a success of the biometric authentication to a user.

Meanwhile, when the error between the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance and the distribution state of the feature points in the normalized histogram is not present within the allowable error range at step 413, the wearable devices determines that the normalized histogram is not the same as the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance at step 417, and outputs an alarm that reports a failure of the biometric authentication to a user.

Next, the wearable device finishes the algorithm according to the present invention.

The wearable device equipped with the acceleration sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform the user's biometric authentication by extracting the magnitude of acceleration as the feature points.

As long as a user simply walks without a separate operation after wearing the wearable device equipped with an acceleration sensor, the wearable device generates the acceleration data by measuring the acceleration of the user's motion and may extract a plurality of feature points by calculating the magnitude of the acceleration based on the acceleration data. Next, the wearable device derives the histogram of the extracted feature points and converts the derived histogram into the normalized histogram. Thereafter, the wearable device may perform the user's authentication by comparing the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance (i.e., the normalized histogram registered in advance) with the normalized histogram.

The wearable device equipped with the gyroscope according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform the user's biometric authentication, by extracting the magnitude of rotational angular velocity size as the feature points.

As long as a user simply walks without a separate operation after wearing the wearable device equipped with a gyroscope, the wearable device may generate the angular velocity data by measuring the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion and may extract a plurality of feature points by calculating the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity based on the data. Next, the wearable device derives the histogram of the extracted feature points and converts the derived histogram into the normalized histogram. Thereafter, the wearable device may perform the user's authentication by comparing the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance (i.e., the user's normalized histogram registered in advance) with the normalized histogram.

The wearable device equipped with an acceleration sensor or a gyroscope according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform the user's biometric authentication, by extracting the Fourier transformation execution results of the magnitude of the acceleration or the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity as the feature points.

As long as a user simply walks without a separate operation after wearing the wearable device equipped with an acceleration sensor or a gyroscope, the wearable device generates the acceleration data or the angular velocity data by measuring the acceleration or the rotational angular velocity of the user's motions, and calculates the magnitude of the acceleration and the magnitude of the rotational angular velocity based on the data. Thereafter, the wearable device may extract a plurality of feature points by performing the Fourier transformation. Thereafter, the wearable device derives the histogram of the extracted feature points, and converts the derived histogram into the normalized histogram. Thereafter, the wearable device may perform the user's authentication, by comparing the user's biometric authentication information registered in advance (i.e., the user's normalized histogram registered in advance) with the normalized histogram.

Thus, the wearable device and the method for biometrics authentication thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention have an advantage capable of performing the biometric authentication by simply walking while wearing a wearable device without an additional circuit and a separate operation, by measuring the user's motion using the motion sensor to generate the motion data, and by performing the user's biometric authentication based on the data.

Hereinafter, each score of the first to third elements determined by the control unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

FIGS. 5 to 8 are diagrams illustrating each score of the first to third elements determined by the control unit of FIG. 2.

First, FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate figures in which a user swings arms back and forth during walking. That is, in general, when a person naturally wings arms back and forth (in a walking direction) during walking, and at this time, the angle of swinging the arms back and forth may differ from person to person. Moreover, as the time taken for walking one step is long (that is, as the stride is relatively large), a human body may be adversely affected.

A first element serving as criteria of the user's motion state is exactly based on this point. That is, the score of the first element may be determined on the basis of a first movement time and a second movement time. The first movement time is up to a first peak angle P1 in a first direction D1 of directions in which a user swings arms during walking based on a state S1 in which the user's arms are positioned parallel to the user's body, and a second movement time is up to a second peak angle P2 in a second direction D2 opposite to the first direction D1.

More specifically, after extracting the values obtained by integrating the rotational angular velocity components in a third direction D3 (e.g., a direction perpendicular to a liquid crystal surface of the display unit 160 of the smart band 100) intersecting with the first and second directions D1 and D2 (i.e., the first peak angle P1 in the first direction D1 and the second peak angle P2 in the second direction D2 with respect to the directions (first and second directions D2) of swinging the arms back and forth), the score of the first element may be determined, based on the movement time between the first peak angle P1 and the second peak angle P2. In the case of the present invention, since the noise may occur when integrating the acceleration components or the rotational angular velocity components, it is possible to use a filter to remove noise.

The formula for calculating the score of the first element, for example, may be <Formula 1>.

Score of first element=(10000−(average of first movement time+average of second movement time)/2)²/100)  <Formula 1>

Here, the first movement time and the second movement time may be measured multiple times, and the average of the first movement time and the average of second movement time may be determined by extracting the data corresponding to the specific ranges (e.g., 90 to 110% of the average range) of the first movement time and the second movement time measured multiple times, but it is not limited thereto.

Thus, the score of the first element may be determined based on the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion, and the larger the sum of the first and second movement times is, the smaller the score of the first element may be.

Next, FIG. 6 illustrates a figure in which a user swings arms inside and outside during walking. That is, in general, a person swings arms inside and outside (i.e., inside and outside of the body) during walking, and at this time, the angle in which the person swings arms inside and outside) may differ from person to person. In addition, in many cases, the larger the width of moving the arm inside and outside is, the more the rotation of the body is. In many cases, the more the rotation of the body is, the more the adverse effect on the pelvis is.

A second element serving as criterion of a user's motion state is exactly based on this point. That is, the score of the second element may be determined based on the first peak displacement DP1 in the third direction D3 and the second peak displacement DP2 in the fourth direction D4 opposite to the third direction D3, in the directions that a user swings arms based on the state (S1 in FIG. 3) in which the user's arms are positioned in parallel with the user's body.

More specifically, after extracting the values obtained by integrating the acceleration components in the third direction D3 (e.g., a direction perpendicular to a liquid crystal surface of the display unit (160 in FIG. 3) of the smart band (100 in FIG. 3)) (i.e., the first peak displacement DP1 in the third direction D3 and the second peak displacement DP2 in the fourth direction D3 with respect to the directions (third and fourth directions D2) of swinging the arms inside and outside).

The formula for calculating the score of the second element, for example, may be <Formula 2>.

Score of second element=(50/((average of first peak displacement+average of second peak displacement)/2)*10))  <Formula 2>

Here, the first peak displacement DP1 and the second peak displacement DP2 may be measured multiple times, and the score of the second element may be determined on the basis of the average of the first peak displacement DP1 and the second peak displacement DP2 measured multiple times.

Thus, the score of the second element may be determined based on the acceleration of the user's motion, and the larger the sum of the first and second peak displacement is, the smaller the core of the second element may be.

Next, referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, it is possible to know whether the user's walking is periodical or gives an impact on the feet, through the frequency analysis of the integral value of the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion.

Specifically, FIGS. 7 and 8 are graphs obtained by performing the Fourier transformation of the integral values of the rotational angular velocity components in the third direction (D3 in FIG. 3) (e.g., a direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal surface of the display unit 160 of the smart band 100) which intersects with the first and second directions (D1 and D2 in FIG. 3) described in FIG. 5.

First, in the case of FIG. 7, this is a graph in the case of good walking, and it is possible to know that remaining peaks (e.g., the second peak Peak 2 and the third peak Peak 3) are smaller than the first peak Peak 1.

In contrast, in the case of FIG. 8, this is a graph in the case of bad walking, and it is possible to know that that remaining peaks (e.g., the second peak Peak 2 and the third Peak 3) are greater than the first peak Peak 1 as compared to FIG. 7.

That is, when other peaks are present in addition to the main peak (i.e., the first peak Peak 1), or when other present peaks are large, this may be called walking containing many noise, i.e., walking that is not periodic and gives an impact on the feet.

Thus, a third element serving as criterion for the user's motion condition is exactly based on this point. That is, the score of the third element may be determined, based on the sum of the magnitudes of the remaining peaks (e.g., second and third peak Peak 3) in comparison to the magnitude of the first peak (i.e., first peak Peak 1) of the frequency region of the integral value of the rotational angular velocity, after performing the Fourier transformation of the values by integrating the rotational angular velocity components in the third direction D3 of FIG. 3.

Here, a proportion of (the magnitude of the first peak: sum of the magnitudes of the second and third peaks) may be calculated using a particular function (e.g., WalkMeterCalc).

The formula for calculating the score of the third element, for example, may be <Formula 3>.

Score of third element=100−(WalkMeterCalc(gyro(2,;))*50)  <Formula 3>

Here, the remaining peaks are not limited to the second and third peaks, and may comprise additional peaks in addition to the second and third peaks.

Thus, the score of the third element may be determined based on the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion, and the greater the sum of the magnitudes of the remaining peaks except the first peak is, the smaller the score of the third element may be.

In summary, the final score is calculated in the control unit (202 in FIG. 2) based on the scores of each of the first to third elements calculated in the manner described above, and the control unit (202 in FIG. 2) may determine the user's motion state by comparing the final score to the user's normal motion score stored in the memory (212 in FIG. 2).

Here, the formula for calculating the final score, for example, may be <Formula 4>.

Final score=score of first element*score of second element*score of third element/10000  <Formula 4>

Also, the user's normal motion score, for example, may be a score of a specific range rather than a specific score, when the final score is higher than the user's normal motion score, it may be the good walking, and when the final score is lower than the user's normal motion score, it may be the bad walking.

Also, the alarm unit (216 in FIG. 2) described above may output an alarm to the user, when the final score is lower than the normal motion score.

The smart band 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes a degree of healthy of the user's walking through the motion sensor 208 and the control unit 202, and when the final score is lower than the user's normal motion score, the smart band may provide an alarm in real time. Moreover, the smart band 100 may assist the user to maintain a healthy walking by providing an alarm in real time in this manner.

The motion operation determination method of the smart band will be described below with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating the motion operation determination method of the smart band according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a flow chart illustrating a registration procedure of the user's normal motion score of FIG. 9.

Referring to FIG. 9, first, the user's normal motion score is registered (S500).

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 2 and 10, when the registration of the normal motion score is requested depending on the user's key operation (S110), the smart band 100 activates the motion sensor 208, and generates the motion data by measuring the user's motion for a predetermined period of time (S520). For example, when the motion sensor 208 is an acceleration sensor, it generates the acceleration data by measuring the acceleration of the user's motion, and when the motion sensor 208 is a gyroscope, it generates the angular velocity data by measuring the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion. Here, the acceleration data includes the three-axis (x, y and z-axis) acceleration components, and the angular velocity data includes the three-axis angular velocity components.

Next, the scores of each of the first to third elements are determined on the basis of the motion data generated in the motion for a predetermined period of time (S530).

Specifically, the determination of the score of the first element may comprise the multiple measurements of a first movement time and a second movement time, and the determination of the score of the first element based on the average of each of the first and second movement times measured multiple times. The first movement time is up to a first peak angle (P1 in FIG. 5) in a first direction (D1 in FIG. 5) and the second movement time is up to a second peak angle (P2 in FIG. 5) in a second direction (D2 in FIG. 5) opposite to the first direction (D1 in FIG. 5), among the directions in which a user swings arms based on the state (S1 in FIG. 5) in which the user's arms are positioned parallel to the user's body.

Furthermore, the determination of the score of the second element may comprise measurement of a first peak displacement (DP1 in FIG. 6) and a second peak displacement (DP2 in FIG. 6) in multiple times, and the determination of the score of the second element based on the average of each of the first and second peak displacements (DP1 and DP2 in FIG. 6) measured multiple times. The first peak displacement is performed in the third direction (D3 in FIG. 6) intersecting with the first direction (S1 in FIG. 6) and the second peak displacement (DP2 in FIG. 6) is performed in the fourth direction (D4 in FIG. 6) opposite to the third direction (D3 in FIG. 6), among the directions in which a user swings arms based on the state (S1 in FIG. 5) in which the user's arms are positioned parallel to the body.

The determination of the score of the third element may comprise conversion of the integral value of the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion into the frequency region through the Fourier transformation, and determination of the score of the third element based on the proportion of the sum of the magnitudes of the remaining peaks in comparison to the magnitude of the first peak in the frequency region of the integral value of the rotational angular velocity.

Next, the final score is calculated (S540).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may calculate the final score, by adding up the respective scores of the first to third elements.

Finally, the final score is registered as a normal motion score (S550).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may register the calculated final score as a user's normal motion score and may store it in the memory 212.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 9 again, the user's motion is measured (S600). Specifically, after the user's normal motion score is registered (S500), the motion sensor 208 is activated periodically or under the control of control unit 202, and it is possible to generate motion data by measuring the user's motion for a predetermined period of time. For example, when the motion sensor 208 is an acceleration sensor, it generates the acceleration data by measuring the acceleration of the user's motion, and when the motion sensor 208 is a gyroscope, it generates the angular velocity data by measuring the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion. Here, the acceleration data includes the three-axis (x, y and z-axis) acceleration components, and the angular velocity data includes the three-axis angular velocity components.

Next, the scores of each of the first to third elements are determined on the basis of the motion data generated in the motion for a predetermined period of time (S700).

Specifically, the determination of the score of the first element may comprise the multiple measurements of a first movement time and a second movement time, and determination of the score of the first element based on the average of each of the first and second movement times measured multiple times. The first movement time is up to a first peak angle (P1 in FIG. 5) in a first direction (D1 in FIG. 5) and the second peak angle (P2 in FIG. 5) is in a second direction (D2 in FIG. 5) opposite to the first direction (D1 in FIG. 5), among the directions in which a user swings arms based on the state (S1 in FIG. 5) in which the user's arms are positioned parallel to the body.

Furthermore, the determination of the score of the second element may comprise multiple measurements of the first peak displacement (DP1 in FIG. 6) and the second peak displacement (DP2 in FIG. 6), and determination of the score of the second element based on the average of each of the first and second peak displacements (DP1 and DP2 in FIG. 6) measured multiple times. The first peak displacement is in the third direction (D3 in FIG. 6) intersecting with the first direction (S1 in FIG. 6), and the second peak displacement is in the fourth direction (D4 in FIG. 6) opposite to the third direction (D3 in FIG. 6), among the directions in which a user swings arms based on the state (S1 in FIG. 5) in which the user's arms are positioned parallel to the body.

The determination of the score of the third element may comprise conversion of the integral value of the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion into the frequency region through the Fourier transformation, and determination of the score of the third element based on the proportion of the sum of the magnitudes of the remaining peaks in comparison to the magnitude of the first peak in the frequency region of the integral value of the rotational angular velocity.

Next, the final score is calculated (S800).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may calculate the final score, by adding up the respective scores of the first to third elements.

The final score is compared to the normal motion score (S900).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may determine whether the final score is smaller than the normal motion score by comparing the final score with the normal motion score stored in the memory 212 (S1000).

If the final score is smaller than the normal motion score, the control unit 202 sends a signal to the alarm unit 216, and the alarm unit 216 outputs an alarm to the user (S1100). Also, when the final score is greater than or equal to the normal motion score, the control unit 202 may not send a signal to the alarm unit 216, but it is not limited thereto. That is, even when the final score is greater than or equal to the normal motion score, the control unit 202 may send a signal to the alarm unit 216, and thus, the alarm unit 216 may output the alarm to a user. Of course, in this case, when the final score is smaller than or equal to or greater than the normal motion score, the alarm unit 216 may differently output the alarm to the user.

Thereafter, the smart band 100 finishes the algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The motion state determination method of the smart band according to the embodiments of the present invention may be embodied as a computer-readable code or program in a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices that store data readable by a computer system. That is, the computer-readable recording medium may comprise program commands, data files, data structures and the like alone or in combination. The program commands recorded in the recording medium may be specifically designed and constructed for the present invention and may be known and available to a person having ordinary skill in the computer software art. Examples of computer-readable recording medium are a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device and the like, and also include those embodied in the form of carrier waves (e.g., data transmission through Internet). Also, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed to a computer system connected to a network, and the computer-readable code may be executed in a distributed manner.

Referring to FIG. 11, directional axes D1 and D2 of each of the integral values of the first and second rotational angular velocities intersect with each other and are positioned on the same plane as the liquid crystal surface of the display unit 160. The directional axis D3 of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity may intersect with the respective directional axes D1 and D2 of the integral values of the first and second rotational angular velocities and may be perpendicular to the liquid crystal surface of the display unit 160.

Additionally, the rotation matrix, for example, may be <Formula 1>.

$\begin{matrix} {\; \begin{matrix} {{rotationmatrix} = \left\lbrack {{\cos \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\cos \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}\mspace{14mu} {\cos \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}} \right.} \\ {{\sin \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\cos \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}} \\ {{{{\cos \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}*{\cos \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}} + {{\sin \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*\sin \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}};} \\ {{\sin \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\cos \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}} \\ {{{\sin \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}} + {{\cos \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\cos \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}}} \\ {{{{\sin \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}*{\cos \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}} - {{\cos \left( {{yaw}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}}};{- {\sin \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}}} \\ {\left. {{\cos \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}*{\sin \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}\mspace{14mu} {\cos \left( {{roll}(i)} \right)}*{\cos \left( {{pitch}(i)} \right)}} \right\rbrack;} \end{matrix}} & {\langle{{Formula}\mspace{14mu} 1}\rangle} \end{matrix}$

Here, the integral value of the first rotating angular velocity may be a pitch (i), the integral value of the second rotating angular velocity may be a roll (i), and the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity may be a yaw (i).

Referring to FIG. 2 again, the control unit 202 may comprise a filter (not illustrated) that filters the noise of the integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities. The filter (not illustrated) may filter the noise of the rotational angular velocity measured by the gyroscope before the correction, and for example, may be a notch filter, but it is not limited thereto.

The control unit 202 calculates the linear acceleration by applying the rotation matrix to acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor (not illustrated), calculates the values of the velocity and displacement by integrating the linear acceleration, performs Fourier transformation of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity, and may extract the second balance element based on the values of the velocity and displacement and the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity subjected to Fourier transformation.

The control unit 202 receives the supply of the first balance element from the memory 212, calculates the asymmetry index based on the difference between the first balance element and the second balance element, calculates the spinal score, the shoulder score and the pelvic score based on the asymmetry index, and may calculate the final score based on the spinal score, the shoulder score and the pelvic score.

Here, each of the first and second balance elements may comprise a plurality of sub-balance elements.

The plurality of sub-balance elements, for example, may comprise, but not limited to, a positive peak (a peak point when a user swings arms forward) of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity, a negative peak (a peak point when a user swings arms backward) of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity, positive and negative peaks (i.e., positive and negative peak points in the first direction D1 when a user swings arms) in the first direction D1 of FIG. 11, positive and negative peaks (i.e., positive and negative peak points in the second direction D2 when a user swings arms) in the second direction D2 of FIG. 11, positive and negative peaks (i.e., positive and negative peak points in the third direction D2 when a user swings arms) in the third direction D3 of FIG. 11, arm's movement time (arm's movement time up to the peak point when the user wings the arms forward in the attention attitude) up to the positive peak of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity, and arm's movement time (arm's movement time up to the peak point when the user wings the arms backward in the attention attitude) up to the negative peak of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity.

The formula for calculating the asymmetry index, for example, may be <Formula 2>.

Asymmetry index=100*(second balance element−1balance elements)/second balance element  <Formula 2>

Here, the first balance element may be a balance element of the right arm's motion, and the second balance element may be a balance element of the left arm's motion, but are not limited thereto. In addition, one sub-balance elements of the second balance element may be substituted to <Formula 2>, and the sub-balance element of the first balance element corresponding thereto may be substituted.

If the first balance element is a balance element of the right arm's motion and the second balance element is a balance element of the left arm's motion, if the asymmetry index is greater than 0, it means that the left arm's motion is large.

Additionally, the control unit 202 may calculate the final asymmetry index by combining each asymmetry index, after calculating the asymmetry index of each sub-balance element.

Formula for calculating the final asymmetry index, for example, may be <Formula 3>.

Final asymmetry index=60+(0.5−(combination of each asymmetry index))*100  <Formula 3>

The control unit 1202 may calculate the spinal score, the shoulder score and the pelvic score based on the asymmetry index as described above, and the formula for calculating it is <Formulas 4, 5 and 6>.

Spine score={50+(0.2−(asymmetry index of positive peak of integral value of third rotational angular velocity+asymmetry index of negative peak of integral value of third rotational angular velocity))*200+25+(0.2−(asymmetry index of positive peak in second direction D2 of FIG. 11+asymmetry index of negative peak in second direction D2 of FIG. 11))*100}/1.5  <Formula 4>

Shoulder score=50+(0.2−(asymmetry index of positive peak in first direction D1 of FIG. 11+asymmetry index of negative peak in first direction D1 of FIG. 11))*200  <Formula 5>

Pelvis score={50+(0.2−(asymmetry index of positive peak in third direction D3 of FIG. 11+asymmetry index of negative peak in third direction D3 of FIG. 11))*200+25+(0.2−(asymmetry index of positive peak in second direction D2 of FIG. 11+asymmetry index of negative peak in second direction D2 of FIG. 11))*100}/1.5  <Formula 6>

Furthermore, the final score may be calculated based on the spinal score, the shoulder score and the pelvic score that are assigned with specific weighted values, respectively.

The input unit 204 may receive the input from a user.

Specifically, the input unit 204 may be made up of a plurality of function keys, and provides the key input data corresponding to keys pressed by the user to the control unit 202. Here, the function of the input unit 204 and the display unit 160 may be performed by a touch screen unit (not illustrated), and in this case, the touch screen unit (not illustrated) is in charge of the touch screen input through the user's screen touch and the graphic screen output through the touch screen.

The display unit 160 may receive the supply of the output of the control unit 202 and display the output.

Specifically, the display unit 160 displays state information, a limited number of characters, a quantity of moving images and still images generated during the operation of the smart band 100. Further, the display unit 206 may comprise, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD).

The communication module 214 may communicate with the peripheral electronic devices (e.g., a smart phone) by receiving the input signal from the control unit 202.

Specifically, the communication module 214 encodes the signal input from the control unit 202 and transmits the signal to the peripheral electronic devices (e.g., a smart phone) through a short-range wireless communication, such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, infrared, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), wireless LAN (WLAN) and Near Field Communication (NFC). Further, the communication module decodes the signal received from the peripheral electronic devices through the short-range wireless communication and provides the signal to the control unit 202.

The smart band 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide the body balance, i.e., asymmetric information of a body type, by measuring the motion of user's both arms through the motion sensor 208 and the control unit 202. Moreover, the smart band 100 may assist the user to maintain the healthy body balance, by providing the user's body balance to the user.

The method for measuring the body balance of the smart band will be described below with reference to FIGS. 12 and 14.

FIGS. 12 to 14 are flow charts illustrating the method for measuring the body balance of the smart band according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the first balance element of one (e.g., a right arm) of the user's left arm or right arm is registered (S1200).

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 2 and 12, when the registration of the first balance element of one (e.g., a right arm) of the user's left arm or right arm is requested depending on the user's key operation (S1210), the smart band 100 activates the motion sensor 208, and measures one (e.g., a right arm) of the user's left arm or right arm for a predetermined period of time to generate the motion data (S1220). For example, when the motion sensor 208 is an acceleration sensor, it measures the acceleration of the user's motion to generate the acceleration data, and when the motion sensor 208 is a gyroscope, it measures the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion to generate the angular velocity data. Here, the acceleration data includes the three-axis (x, y and z-axis) acceleration components, and the angular velocity data includes the three-axis angular velocity components.

Next, the sign of the motion data is determined (S1230).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may check whether the user's motion is the user's left arm motion or the right arm motion to determine the sign of the motion data.

Next, the integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities are extracted (S1240).

First, the control unit 202 filters the noise of the rotational angular velocity data among the motion data having the determined sign (at this time, the nose may be filtered by a filter (not illustrated) included in the control unit 202), corrects the angular velocity data in which the noise is filtered by reflecting the rotational angle measured by an acceleration sensor (not illustrated), and may extract the integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities by integrating the corrected rotational angular velocity.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 13 again, a rotation matrix is generated (S1250).

The control unit 202 filters the noise of the extracted integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities (at this time, the noise may be filtered by a filter (not illustrated) included in the control unit 202), and may generate a rotation matrix by utilizing the filtered integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 13 again, the linear acceleration is calculated (S1260).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may calculate the linear acceleration, by applying the rotation matrix to the acceleration data among the motion data measured by the motion sensor 208.

Next, the first balance element is extracted and registered (S1270).

The control unit 202 integrates the linear acceleration to calculate the velocity and displacement values, performs Fourier transformation of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity, and may extract the first balance element based on the velocity and displacement values, and the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity subjected to Fourier transformation. Further, the control unit 202 may register the extracted first balance element and store it in the memory 212.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 12 again, after registering the first balance element of one (e.g., a right arm) of the user's left arm or right arm (S1200), the motion of the other (e.g., a left arm) of the user's left arm or right arm is determined (S1300).

Specifically, after registering the first balance element of one (e.g., a right arm) of the user's left arm or right arm (S1200), the motion sensor 208 is activated periodically or under the control of the control unit 202, and thus, the motion data may be generated by measuring the motion of the other (e.g., a left arm) of the user's left arm or right arm for a predetermined period of time. For example, when the motion sensor 208 is an acceleration sensor, it generates the acceleration data by measuring the acceleration of the user's motion, and when the motion sensor 208 is a gyroscope, it generates the angular velocity data by measuring the rotational angular velocity of the user's motion. Here, the acceleration data includes the three-axis (x, y and z-axis) acceleration components, and the angular velocity data includes the three-axis angular velocity components.

Next, the second balance element of the other (e.g., a left arm) of the user's left arm or right arm is extracted (S1400).

In order to extract the second balance element, first, the sign of the motion data is determined.

Specifically, the control unit 202 may determine the sign of the motion data, by checking whether the user's motion is the left arm motion or the right arm motion.

Next, the integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities are extracted.

Specifically, first, the control unit 202 filters the noise of the rotational angular velocity data among the motion data having the determined sign (at this time, the nose may be filtered by a filter (not illustrated) included in the control unit 202), corrects the angular velocity data in which the noise is filtered by reflecting the rotational angle measured by an acceleration sensor (not illustrated), and may extract the integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities by integrating the corrected rotational angular velocity.

Further, the rotation matrix is generated to extract the second balance element.

Specifically, the control unit 202 filters the noise of the extracted integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities (at this time, the noise may be filtered by a filter (not illustrated) included in the control unit 202) and may generate a rotation matrix by utilizing the filtered integral values of the first to third rotational angular velocities.

Further, the linear acceleration is calculated to extract the second balance element.

Specifically, the control unit 202 may calculate the linear acceleration, by applying the rotation matrix to the acceleration data among the motion data measured by the motion sensor 208.

Next, the second balance element is extracted.

Specifically, the control unit 202 integrates the linear acceleration to calculate the velocity and displacement values, performs Fourier transformation of the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity, and may extract the second balance element, based on the velocity and displacement values, and the integral value of the third rotational angular velocity subjected to Fourier transformation.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 12 again, after extracting the second balance element (S1400), the asymmetry index is calculated (S1500).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may calculate the asymmetry index based on a difference between the second balance element and the first balance element stored in the memory 208.

Next, the final score is calculated (S1600).

Specifically, the control unit 202 may calculate the spinal score, the shoulder score and the pelvic score based on the asymmetry index, and may calculate the final score based on the spinal score, the shoulder score and the pelvic score.

The final score calculated via such an algorithm may be displayed through the display unit 160, and a user may check which state the user's own body balance is in, through the final score.

For example, the higher the final score is, the better the body balance is, and the lower the final score is, the poor the body balance may be, but is not limited thereto.

Next, the smart band 100 finishes the algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method for measuring the body balance of the smart band according to the embodiments of the invention may be embodied as a computer-readable code or program in a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices that store data readable by a computer system. That is, the computer-readable recording medium may comprise program commands, data files, data structures and the like alone or in combination. The program commands recorded in the recording medium may be specifically designed and constructed for the present invention and may be known and available to a person having ordinary skill in the computer software art.
